91دم½¶تسئµ Emergency Messaging System (91دم½¶تسئµ Alert) is a resource for faculty, staff and students to receive text message alerts from 91دم½¶تسئµ about potential, developing, or existing emergencies.
The 91دم½¶تسئµ Alert system allows the school to quickly communicate health and safety-related information through a combination of various communication methods.
In the event that information needs to be communicated to students and staff immediately, 91دم½¶تسئµ will use several information delivery methods to make sure the pertinent information reaches you.
91دم½¶تسئµ Alert will be used solely for the purpose of alerting the 91دم½¶تسئµ community in an emergency. These emergency notices will be delivered via phone calls, text messages to mobile devices, and e-mail.
All students, faculty and staff are automatically registered to receive alerts.
Please note that emergency notifications will be limited to those related to health and safety concerns for 91دم½¶تسئµ students, faculty and staff; or disruption of school functions due to severe weather, crime, or other concerns. These notices are also limited to situations or events within the boundaries of the 91دم½¶تسئµ main campus in Lewisburg.
If an emergency occurs, the emergency management operations team, in consultation with the senior administration will determine the need for a 91دم½¶تسئµ Alert message.

91دم½¶تسئµ has contracted with Omnilert, LLC emergency notification system. Omnilert is a fully web-based emergency notification network that allows emergency management teams to generate time–sensitive communications to students, faculty, staff, campus security, first responders, and others. These notifications will be broadcast by text messaging, voice mail, and e-mail.
Omnilert, LLC is the provider of the 91دم½¶تسئµ mass notification system.
You will receive 91دم½¶تسئµ Alert messages using the following possible contact methods:
Downloading the Omnilert app is optional as it is not required to receive emergency notifications. During certain emergency situations the emergency management operations team may select to engage in two-way communications allowing you to respond to questions through the mobile app. The same communication exchange can be achieved by clicking a web link which will be included in an emergency alert e-mail during certain emergency situations. The Omnilert app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. Once the app is installed on your mobile device you will need your unique personal access code which was sent to you by email at the time your account was registered. If you do not have the email containing your code please contact the 91دم½¶تسئµ Helpdesk.
At the present time, only current 91دم½¶تسئµ students, faculty, staff and affiliates may participate in the 91دم½¶تسئµ Alert Emergency Notification system. However, notification for third parties is something the 91دم½¶تسئµ Emergency Management Policy Team is looking into for the future.
In an actual emergency, you will receive information regarding the situation with instructions on what to do. Here are a few sample messages you may receive:
The message sender will appear as follows:
From: 91دم½¶تسئµ no-reply@omnilert.com
Emergency Alert messages originate through the Omnilert system which is outside the parameters of the 91دم½¶تسئµ e-mail system and therefor will contain the blue banner that is customary on all external emails.
Though receipt confirmation is not required, it is preferable for you to do so if at all possible if you are asked to do so. This is especially important if two-way communication has been enabled and the e-mail message contains a web link or you are using the mobile app and have received a question. When you confirm that you have received the message or respond to a question, you will free up system resources to contact other members of the WVOSM community who may not have gotten the message yet. In an emergency this will save valuable time – and, possibly, lives.
Yes. 91دم½¶تسئµ will test the 91دم½¶تسئµ Alert System at least once per semester. The campus community will be notified in advance when a test of the system is scheduled to take place.
Upon receipt of an emergency alert email click the “Unsubscribe†link located at the bottom of the message. You will need to do this for each email address on file, so if you provided 91دم½¶تسئµ with an alternate email address you will also need to unsubscribe from that address as well.
Upon receipt of an emergency alert text message reply to the message with; Unsubscribe, Stop or Quit. You will need to do this for each cell phone number you have provided to 91دم½¶تسئµ.
If you have downloaded the mobile app and decide you no longer want to receive emergency alerts simply remove the app from your device.
Faculty and staff information will be deleted upon separation from 91دم½¶تسئµ, unless an affiliate status is established by the President. Student information is deleted thirty days following that last day of enrollment.
